Abstract

The Russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine not only constitutes a crime of aggression under the ICC Rome Statute, but also leads to Russian troops committing other international crimes on the Ukrainian territory. Due to the Russian military aggression millions of Ukrainian citizens escaped to neighbouring countries, where they are entitled to apply for temporary protection, introduced due to the massive influx of third-country nationals into the EU, or for international protection due to the ongoing international armed conflict on the Ukrainian territory. The purpose of the article is to analyse the legal situation of Ukrainian citizens who applied for international protection in Poland before and after 24 February 2022, and to examine the reasons for which they are currently granted subsidiary protection.
